We banned a bunch of accounts today and sent a tremendous amount of warnings.
I did accidently run a batch with a bad config setting and had to manually reverse things.
I think many that got warnings today may be from things up to two months ago.
We don't check warnings like we do bans, so you can get a warning pretty easily but it's nothing to worry about, just a way of us saying "hey, your account showed up on the naughty report."
Putt, it sure would help to have a clear statement of acceptable and unacceptable conduct in the Voat User Agreement. Lots of folks confused about what is and isn't considered brigading, and getting a warning without understanding what a person did wrong cannot help but have a chilling effect on free expression.

My god, they've gotten (a few) goats, who hate CoCs everywhere else in life, to desire a CoC at home. What is even going on?

having your own personal CoC is considered normal, get too many though and you a hoe.
